This is the coziest tasting tea in my cupboard. Every sip is part tea, part earl grey, and part comfort. I especially like that though there’s strong flavoring to this tea, it’s still clearly tea. A lovely way to kick off this week!

Update: The baby might love this tea, too, as he’s kicking around a lot more than is typical at this time of day. That, or he hates it. I’m going to go with love, though. :)

Another Update: This tea is best pretty hot. As it cools to the temperature which I normally prefer my tea, it’s a bit bitter.

I do love this tea. I like it best really hot. This cup taught me that as I made it, stepped out to do a few things, and came back to my typically favored really warm cup. At that point I thought it could really use some sugar. Now it’s even cooler and I’m not digging it too much. But one cup of not-digging-it-as-much tea is worth it to have a better understanding of how to serve it.

I love this even more than I expected!!! It’s clearly earl grey, but it also is richer and more powerful than I would normally expect from any earl grey. I highly recommend it!!

Another gross day outside, another hot pot of tea to keep warm indoors! I love this Earl Grey. It’s a strong one, and rich, but it is everything I want Earl Grey to be. I suspect people used to the more standard Earl Grey might find this objectionable, but for those looking for something more, this is probably it.

This tea was recommended to me when I wanted a nice creamy/vanilla tasting tea. I was reluctant to get another earl grey but the smell was so nice that I had to try it.

The bergamot flavour is muted but it’s a nice creamy tea and one I wish I’d have purchased more of. They promoted it to me as Birthday Cake tea and I can see why. I only wish I’d have purchased more.

This is really delicious tea!! It tastes like sweet cream with the depth of Earl Grey. Very caramelly. I drank it recently on my first quest to Tealuxe and selected it as part of my endeavor to find very citrusy Earl Greys. This wasn’t exactly what I was looking for…but it is delicious!! Be careful not to overbrew it, because bitterness is unpleasant in this.

A delicate, smooth, refreshingly elegant take on an old classic. Expect nothing less from this Harvard Square institution!

I put milk in everything (even darjeeling), so I like ‘em hearty. Tealuxe’s version of Earl Grey is fabulously creamy and smooth. I LOVE this tea!
